Inspired by last week’s Galaxy Scarf to design this scarf. I took a bunch of leftover 2/8 cotton yarn for my warp, with a bit of glitter thread, and one strand of black bamboo yarn in a pick-up stick pattern for my weft. #weaving #rigidheddleloom #weavingpickupstick #weavingscarf #craftsky

I like how this scarf turned out. I’ve wanted to try it for a long time. Using clasped warp for the first time, and the weft is woven black. Yarn is tencel and bamboo and drapes beautifully. Pattern is “Galaxy Scarf” by Kelly Casanova. #weaving #rigidheddleloom #kellycasanova #craftsky

Wanted to make a clasped weft woven scarf using a cityscape pattern. I found some clipart cityscapes, put a grid over them in Procreate and used it as a guide for weaving my clasped weft. Interesting weave! #weaving #claspedweft #cityscape #procreate #craftsky

Playing with Iris Folding paper cards. The ones I like best will be further decorated for use. #paperfolding #irisfolding #handmadecards

First attempt at Beaded Leno weaving technique. I like the look, but it is kind of tricky and fiddly. I would use a stronger yarn next time. Still, my goal is to weave a scarf with three rows of Beaded Leno on each end. #craftsky #weaving #beading #rigidheddleloom #lenoweaving

Practising finger-manipulated techniques on my rigid heddle loom. This is a technique called Leno in a variation called Mexican Lace. Brushing up my skills to teach a new member of the guild next week. A fun summertime weave! #craftsky #weaving #leno #rigidheddleloom #mexicanlace

Tea towel I’m weaving at the guild hall as part of a group making tea towels for our sale in November. #craftsky #weaving #weavingteatowels

Took a class on how to spin with a drop spindle at the Burr House Spinning and Weaving Guild. Challenging, but I’m getting better. The top skein is the one I spun and plied in class. And I’m continuing to practise a bit every day! #craftsky #spinning #dropspindle

Two more pieces of kinusaiga art. Definitely fun and addictive! I’m getting better at the process, prepping the board, cutting and folding in the fabric. Ready to try a bigger piece now. #craftsky #fabricart #kinusaiga

I’ve been exploring a new art form called Kinusaiga, where you take fabric scraps and tuck them into a foam board to create your image. Perfect way to use these styrofoam discs and fabric in my stash! #craftsky #fabricart #kinusaiga

Teaching a class to use pick-up sticks on the rigid heddle loom to make table runners for the Burr House Spinners and Weavers Guild in Richmond Hill, Ontario. #craftsky #weaving #rigidheddleloom #craftclass #richmondhill

My first “Melt the ICE” crochet hat, pattern by Sarah Sward. The pattern is inspired by hats worn by Norwegian protesters during WWII. So many knitters and crocheters around the world are making them! I’m starting my second one with different yarn. #craftsky #crochet #melttheicehat #crochethat

I really love this tea towel I’ve started weaving in a group project with the Burr House Spinners and Weavers Guild. #craftsky #weaving #weavingteatowels #floorloom

First project of 2026! Ocean Sunrise Scarf, pattern by Gala McCurdy, Little Looms magazine Fall 2024. Also my first attempt at putting beads into my fringe. #craftsky #weaving #rigidheddleloom #beading

Some of my favorite crafts projects of 2025- Part 1. 1) Hand towels woven with a Star Trek inspired tartan. 2) Helped crochet poppies for Remembrance Day memorial. 3) Fauxsaic made in Procreate. 4) Maple Leaf mosaic crochet scarf. #craftsky #weaving #procreate #crochet #mosaiccrochet

Today I started the Ocean Sunrise scarf, pattern by Gala McCurdy (Little Looms Fall 2024). I tried this scarf earlier in the year, but the center warp yarn I used was thicker than the sides, and it didn’t work, so I’ve wanted to try it again. #craftsky #weaving #weavingscarf #claspedweft

Really like how this scarf is turning out. Mosaic crochet is so much fun. Pattern is Proteus by Crochet With May. #craftsky #crochet #mosaiccrochet #crochetwithmay

Saturday I taught a class making quilted ornaments at the Burr House in Richmond Hill. They are fun to make and look so elegant. I like learning new patterns and especially learned a lot from The Ornament Girl. I took her advanced ornaments in to show the class. #craftsky #ornaments #quilting

First fully finished mosaic crochet project, a maple leaf, pattern by Olena Osaka. Not perfect, but very fun to do! Already starting a new pattern on another scarf. #craftsky #crochet #mosaiccrochet #mapleleaf

Working to teach myself mosaic crochet using yarn in my stash. I may make this first piece into a pillow after making a couple of pattern repeats. Pattern by Cats-Rockin-Crochet. #craftsky #crochet #mosaiccrochet

A “Fauxsaic” I made earlier in the week in the Procreate art program. Fauxsaic technique by Abby Nurse. Go, Jays, Go! #procreate #fauxsaic #digitalart #bluejay #torontobluejays

When a fav fandom meets a fav craft. Early in September I found a Star Trek inspired (see the colours of the three original uniforms?) tartan pattern online and I was inspired to weave hand towels. #weaving #startrek #rigidheddleloom #tartan

Hand towels woven from a Star Trek inspired tartan I saw online. It includes all the colours of the original series uniforms, plus the background dark blue. #weaving #startrek #rigidheddleloom #weavinghandtowels

I taught a friend yesterday how to do a log cabin weave on her rigid heddle loom. Pleased with how it’s turning out. Interesting teaching all the steps. She’s making a four foot table runner with 4/8 cotton. #craftsky #weaving #weavinglogcabin #rigidheddleloom

Ended up crocheting fifty poppies to take in to the weavers guild today. We are going to put all our poppies together as part of a legion project in Mississauga, where a poppy art piece will be put together for Remembrance Day. #craftsky #crochet #crochetpoppies #poppies #remembranceday
